Craft

There is a hobby out there for everyone, and part of determining what you'll be

Warhammer Games

If the feeling of transporting yourself to a fantasy world; a magical world alight
with color where the anything can happen at any time, is what stirs within you a certain delight- you may want to
look intoGames Workshop tabletop gaming. From J.R.R. Tolkiens famous Lord of the Rings (LOTR) to Warhammer
Fantasy and Warhammer 40K science fiction game, tabletop games run the gamut of dreams and allow the player to
truly transport him or herself to a battle in another world.

Warhammer Fantasy is perhaps the most popular tabletop war game ever created. It
is a game of large-scale battles where ogres wage war against ghostly tomb kings, knights lead their troops from
atop a majestic Pegasus and dark elves command the magic of the forest. It is also a game where strategy is
paramount.

Warhammer Army Hobby

Putting together the perfect Warhammer Army is a project and ongoing hobby in
and of itself. There is a character race for every style of fighting, whether you prefer the sheer brute force of
an army of Orcs or the swift precision and honed skill of an army of wood-elves. You may choose your army based on
the overarching style of battle you like to wage, and you may build it based on your personal tweaks to the
system.

The game is played with an army of 20mm-50mm pieces called
miniatures. Thesefantasy miniatures enact their battles on a tabletop, generally of four by six foot dimensions, decorated
with a landscape of model scenery to scale.

Your paintedWarhammer miniatures are your army, they are your lifeblood, and, for many tabletop gamers, they become a
source of pride. That's because Warhammer miniatures produced by Games Workshop come to you as a blank slate,
open to any and all the customization you can imagine. The armies then, become a reflection of you, their
general.

Many players, for example, like to have their Knights outfitted with their
personal family crest, or their ancestral heraldry and colors. Others want to ensure they've got the most colorful
or intimidating band of Chaos Warriors or Lizardmen in the game. Still other players, those with a passion for the
details, take a great pleasure in introducing to their opponent a miniature so precise and detailed that it almost
seems real.
